Copper Repair Closures
SnapsealTM The SnapsealTM is an environmentally sealed splice closure suitable for in-line and cap-ended jointing of copper telecommunication cables of up to 10 pair and CATV type co-axial cables. Co-axial cable connectors to a maximum size of RG6 (for which mounting lugs are provided) can also be accommodated within the compact design. It is ideally suited for installation in confined spaces, hazardous areas and repair situations. It consists of two shells manufactured from a tough engineering polymer, which are filled with a cured encapsulation gel (not grease). Any cable crimps or connections can be made and placed in one shell. The cables may then be securely anchored with cable ties at each end of the shell prior to being sealed. The second shell is then simply placed over the first and pressure applied until the joint snaps shut. • • • • • • • • • •
Quick to fit and ideal for repairs Clean to use with no messy grease Suitable for installation in hazardous areas as no heat source is required Can be used for in-line and cap-ended applications Cable anchoring system using cable ties for easier, more secure installations Mounting holes for surface mounted applications Accommodates cables up to 10 pairs Accepts co-axial connectors up to RG6 Tested to seal at 6 metres head of water Supplied with installation instructions and cable ties
SnapsealTM upper and lower shells
Typical Applications • Repair of copper telecommunication and CATV customer drop cables
